RAaW Foundation

Youth work changes lives. Youth work changes lives. Youth work changes lives.

Youth work isn't just "playing snooker." It's: Sports events, dancing, singing, camping trips, hiking, volunteering, cooking, coding, robotics, homework help, career advice, theatre productions, painting, mentoring, financial management, residentials, crafts and much more. 💙

Young people are hardworking. Young people are caring. Young people are responsible. Young people are courageous. Young people are inspirational.

We can't afford to lose our youth services.

Over 12 weeks, our spoken word performance and film rehearsals have created a strong sense of autonomy, confidence and self-esteem for our children and young people. Thank you to Greater London Authority for funding this exciting project! #SpokenWord #greaterlondonauthority

UK folks, super important. Photo ID will be required to vote for the next election, but University IDs won't work, risking the silencing of young voices. Students can now get a suitable photo ID for FREE from @nusuk 👇Please RT nus.org.uk/photo-id

Excited to highlight the progress we've been making with our #YOUTHSPEAKCONNECT project thanks to @tnlcommunityfund Thank you #NationalLottery players for helping #MakeAmazingHappen #RAaWFoundation #YoungPeople #nationallotterycommunityfund

@AskSpotifyStars hi everyone.I am trying to get in touch with an artist Adixx Beatz who has his work on spotify. I want to ask him to use his music on a film I have made - obviously I will be paying. I can't get in touch with him. Tried social media and email. Any ideas?

I know this is SO broad but I always worry I'm missing people - who are the most exciting female directors/filmmakers right now? I'm talking debut stage, second feature, made an outstanding short. Who excites you? International and UK.

It's that time of the year! Running shows is a great way to see everything coming together. We've come a long way but there's still a lot to do! * * #youngperformers #YoungActors #performance #performingarts

Mental health should be a priority for our schools.

Over the last few weeks, we've been working on Stage Combat! From punches and kicks to fighting with sticks, our young people are doing it all! * * * #YoungPeople #StageCombat

On of the ways our young people enjoy expressing themselves is through spoken word poetry. Taught by Nash Langley, our spoken word classes focus on writing from scratch and working on the pieces right through to a final performance. * * * #SpokenWord #YoungPeople
